Clouded out all morning, then rain and high winds, lucky the winds blew a gap my way and got today's image.
None of the sunspots on the Earth-facing side of the sun are actively flaring. However, two old sunspots, AR11944 and AR11946, which produced big flares three weeks ago, are just beginning to show up on the limb again, after their trip around the far-side of the sun.

Between the high winds/hail/rain caught a gap, got a single image and packed up just before the hail storm started again.
Sunspot AR1957 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that poses a slim threat for M-class solar flares.

From a cloudy hazy morning the Sun appeared and burnt off the haze.
A phalanx of new sunspots on the sun's south-eastern limb poses a threat for M-class solar flares, not Earth-directed.
